A Malaysian Woman’s journey to inspire digital innovation

1 November 2024

KOTA KINABALU: Kartina Abdul Ghani, the founder of Apps Master Builder Academy (AMB Academy), is redefining limits by blending endurance, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence (AI).

In an unprecedented journey, she is set to become the first Malaysian woman to climb Mount Kinabalu nine times within a single expedition while simultaneously launching mobile apps and showcasing the power of AI.

Scheduled from October 15 to November 9, 2024, this journey is not just about endurance, Kartina aims to inspire Malaysians and a global audience by demonstrating the ease of mobile app development through her AMB Drag & Drop Mobile Apps Builder Toolkit.

Her goal is to enter the Malaysia Book of Records for this remarkable feat, becoming the first Malaysian woman to accomplish such a challenge, which also marks a crucial part of her training for her ultimate goal: climbing Mount Everest in 2026.

Each time she reaches Kinabalu’s peak, Kartina will launch a new app on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, using her low-code/no-code platform.

By doing so, she aims to show that creating mobile apps is accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background.

Her journey is not only a testament to physical strength but also a celebration of digital empowerment.

Kartina also plans to leverage this expedition as a platform to educate the public on effective AI use.

According to her research, 97% of users are not fully utilizing AI tools. Through live demonstrations from Kinabalu’s summit, she will share practical techniques for using AI to fuel personal and business growth, sparking excitement about the potential of AI.

Kartina’s expedition is just the beginning. Her nine climbs of Mount Kinabalu represent a foundational step in her training schedule for Everest, where she plans to push her endurance and skills to new heights.
